You say your full dps. Stregth doesn't raise the attack of longshot dex does. I am full dex and still have 1.2k damage. My stregth is at 5/80 its the buil u have

No its not his build, he has a pretty amazing build. His melee damage over 2k and his attack at 4k, that much attack requires at least 400 dex and maxed bow ability (he is lvl 170)

Something else I have noticed as well is has anyone noticed an increase in the amount of agro that bolas, light heal and even rapid seems to create?i can be right in the middle of the mob only auto attacking and cast a heal and peel so ill stop attacking completely heal again when it repops up again and peel again.. This is the same with bolas as well no attack bolas peel leaves me bolas peels no attack bolas peel etc. now rapid maybe I'm crazy but I like to give my tank a round or 2 to get a taunt and a attack in before I go in.. So I wait about 5 seconds then i usually auto twice then cast rapid and as soon as I cast rapid I peel. Nothing else. Now I have done this a bunch of times it's not a once or twice thing I've noticed since update but curious if anyone has experienced this?

Longshot reflects your weapon damage, so strength should have just as much benefit as dexterity does.

I love having bolas generate more aggro, perfect for kiting

Well for starters,

Eli, with 4k attack, do you tend to miss often? I'm just trying to determine whether pigman is indeed right on mobs defence. If u cant hit **** with 4k attack, God help the melee classes with auto dmg.

Regular mobs (xp mobs) I almost never miss

New 5 star and 6 star bosses , I miss more than I hit, I even miss often on the 4 star placeholders.

Second set of questions,

1) Have u only noticed this since last patch or it has already been like this since update was launched? This is because druids only started to notice how howling wind was *nerfed* since last patch. While the skill bonuses stays the same, mobs were attacking us much more frequent than before.

2) Yes druids are beating you which is insane, but how about the warriors versus you? This is because my clan warriors have been fairly successful in beating rangers as well in boss kills. Several occasions I have witnessed warriors getting the kill over rogues, druids and rangers. Note I am not saying warriors don't deserve it, but rather how come a fellow melee class who uses auto dmg as well can beat rangers as they were clearly out of the picture last update

My guess on this is, warriors can get kills over rangers is because they have 3 very good skill combos - shatter, rupture and double attack. This 3 skills together gives about 7k dmg odd. Overall I am guessing the game has transitioned from auto dmg to skill dmg now which kinds of explains why casters (includin warriors) are getting the kills.

ofc, i fully agree it is damn stupid as well for defence and attack to be this high

Another thread moved simply for dodging purposes. No responses as of yet...

1 ) it's since update came out as far as I can tell , didn't notice a change after recent patch .

2 ) We really don't have dps warriors in clan so it's very hard for me to answer that one , we have tanks with insane dps gear for when it's needed . I beat tanks anyways lol


I can easily envision a scenario where dps wars are beating rangers on bosses due to skill damage.


Ranger has some "cool" skills , no doubt about that but we don't have big damage skills , certainly no consistent heavy hitting damage skills. I suppose we could use double shot same as warrior uses double attack but since ranger requires so much dex it is not nearly as good a skill as double is for other classes.

Double attack only works well with warriors due to shatter. Despite only 6 secs duration, 7k odd dmg is still pretty awesome over 3 skills. Hence classes with Armour/resistance skills tend to benefit more as we are talking about 15% to 30% odd dmg difference.

Time your skills with a warrior's Shatter... Your DPS should increase. Not sure how it is at higher levels as my ranger is only 60... but with a crappy bow and Golden Quiver of Ice with a maxed out Longshot I was amazed at the damage it could do to a same level mob... 2-3 star Wisp with 1 Longshot + Powershot and it was halfdead or more.

Has anyone noticed this well im am bossing with the clan im lvl 76 and everyone else is well over 100
but the boss always attacks me no matter what its weird
